* test(#4078): phase.complete mixed-grammar roadmap picks lowest outstanding phase, not positional-last * fix(#4078): accept dash-grammar checkbox rows in phase.complete next-phase cascade Stage 2 (roadmap identity scan) and stage 3 (#2028 lowest-outstanding override) required a colon separator after the phase number, while the canonical phase lookup has accepted the bullet-house dash grammar (- [ ] **Phase N — Name**, #2199) for years. On a mixed-grammar roadmap the only parseable row above N was a later phase.add-ingested colon-form phase - positionally last - and it won the numeric-minimum vote it should never have been alone in: completing Phase 1 of 18 selected Phase 18 and skipped phases 2-17 (#4078). The checkbox branches now accept the #2199 separator class (em/en-dash, hyphen, colon); heading branches stay colon-only, mirroring findRoadmapPhaseInContent exactly. * test(#4078): align regression fixtures with slug name + checked-box semantics * fix(#4078): drop unnecessary type assertion flagged by eslint * chore(#4078): add changeset fragment * chore(#4078): backfill PR number in changeset --------- Co-authored-by: sim <sim@local>
GSD Core
Git. Ship. Done.
English · Português · 简体中文 · 日本語 · 한국어
A light-weight meta-prompting, context engineering, and spec-driven development system for Claude Code, OpenCode, Antigravity CLI, Kimi CLI, Kilo, Codex, Copilot, Cursor, Windsurf, and more.
What is GSD Core
GSD Core is a context-engineering and spec-driven development framework that drives AI coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, Antigravity CLI, Kimi CLI, Copilot, Cursor, and more) through a disciplined phase loop. It solves context rot — the quality degradation that accumulates as an AI fills its context window — by running all heavy research, planning, and execution work in fresh-context subagents while keeping your main session lean.
How it works
Each milestone repeats the same five-step loop, one phase at a time:
- Discuss — capture implementation decisions before anything is planned
- Plan — research, decompose, and verify the plan fits a fresh context window
- Execute — run plans in parallel waves; each executor starts with a clean 200k-token context
- Verify — walk through what was built; diagnose and fix before declaring done
- Ship — create the PR, archive the phase, repeat for the next one
Quickstart
npx @opengsd/gsd-core@latest
The installer prompts for your runtime (Claude Code, OpenCode, Antigravity CLI, Kimi CLI, Kilo, Codex, Copilot, Cursor, Windsurf, and more) and whether to install globally or locally. The installer is required for cross-runtime compatibility — do not copy files from agents/ or commands/ directly.
On another runtime or without Node.js? See Install on your runtime.
Once installed, start a new project or onboard an existing repo:
/gsd-new-project # greenfield project
/gsd-onboard # existing codebase
New here? Follow Your first project for a guided walkthrough from install to first shipped phase, or Onboarding an existing codebase for brownfield setup.

Why it works
Most AI-coding setups fail at scale because context bloat silently degrades output quality, there is no shared memory between sessions, and nothing verifies that code actually works. GSD Core solves all three: heavy work runs in fresh subagents, structured artifacts like STATE.md and CONTEXT.md survive session boundaries, and the verify step walks through what was built and generates fix plans before a phase is declared done. See docs/explanation/context-engineering.md for the full reasoning.
